Early life in Tasmania

Born in Campbell Town, Tasmania on 15 February 1897, Jenkins was one of 12 children.[2]

He played his early football with North Launceston in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association.[3]

St Kilda

In 1921, at the age of 24, Jenkins moved to the mainland and joined St Kilda. Jenkins, who was a follower, played 16 games in each of his first three seasons.[4][5]

Jenkins appeared in the opening round of the season in 1924, then left to coach Orbost.[5][6]

He returned to St Kilda for the 1925 VFL season and again played the opening round of the season, which would be his 50th and final appearance for St Kilda.[5][7]

Soon after, Jenkins was granted a permit to join Coburg in the Victorian Football Association.[8]

VFA

Jenkins was the ruckman in Coburg's 1926, 1927 and 1928 premiership teams.[9] A best and fairest winner in 1928, Jenkins was appointed captain-coach the following season.[9][10] In his three seasons as coach, from 1929 to 1931, Coburg were unable to make the finals.[9] He finished equal third in the 1930 Recorder Cup, but had his best finish in 1932, when he was equal second, one vote behind Northcote player Bob Ross.[9][11] He left Coburg as the club's games record holder.[12]

He captain-coached Brunswick in 1934 and 1935.[13][14]
